]]> Comment on Bye Bye Studio by Jan http://www.janscherders.nl/blog/shoptalk/bye-bye-studio/#comment-1713 Jan Tue, 18 Oct 2011 06:11:20 +0000 http://www.janscherders.nl/blog/?p=4162#comment-1713 John, thanks for your reaction. I know stock business is tough but I like it and I am determined to succeed in it. I am focussed on shooting what the market wants - I work close with the people of Tetra and I guess they have a good feel for that. That is also part of the reason I think of selling my studio. They want me on location for shooting pics with some production value. But maybe you are right - if I don't have to sell it right now because of economic reasons I better keep this studio for a while. Maybe I keep it for another year or two and find out what value it brings me and sell it when it is really needed. Also the prices of estate are not that spectacular at the moment too. Fact is that shooting what the market wants drives me out of the studio and towards location shooting Studio work is also done by microshooters and shooting on location is one way of adding value to your images.

When I add up the cost of renting a studio, or the hassle of finding a place to shoot in when I need to, for me maintaing a studio makes sense even though I shoot less than once a month in it. I could survive without it if I needed to. If I were struggling to make ends meet I would ditch the studio, but have some alternative worked out for the times I needed it. Also, if you like working with people, small business owners in a "testimonial" style, shot on location in their stores and businesses seems to me like a great way to go for stock. Hope that helps!
